Commonly in a [[Sic Em]] scene, the [[Big Bad]] - usually a [[Diabolical Mastermind]] - kills one of his henchmen who has failed to capture and/or kill [[The Hero]], as motivation to all of his other (surviving) underlings not to repeat their failure. Presumably, the other underlings immediately all fall into line instead of (say) quietly updating their resumes and [[Heel Realization|trying to find a less psychopathic overlord to work for]]. This is related to [[Karmic Death]].
